Our families spent some great years together. I'm so glad he linked to you in his last blog. Your family sounds amazing and I'm inspired by the life of love I've read about on Ryan's site. Amen is all I can say. And I so agree with this post. Thanks for writing it - truly, I mean that. Sometimes I feel a little lonely in my convictions like this - I had the same epiphany about reading romance novels many years ago. It's so, so encouraging to know there are others out there who care not only what we fill our bodies with, but what we fill our souls with as well. I get the comment from Brittany! May the Lord bless you and your family.

When I was in High School I loved soaps after school. They can be so addictive...the makers knew their craft. And you are right..no one's "love life" can measure up to the fantasy of soaps. Luckily I had stopped watching by college so I had time to have real (better) expectations. :)Nice post.
